Histori
The area where the city of Fort Lauderdale will be established is inhabited for over two thousand years by the Tequesta Indian tribe. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved to be disastrous for Tequesta, as Europe unknowingly carries a disease, like smallpox, whose inhabitants have no resistance. For Tequesta, the disease, coupled with ongoing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. In 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when Spain handed Florida over to England in 1763, under the terms of the Paris Treaty (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although the control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederation of the United States, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The area of ​​Fort Lauderdale is known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were about 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Peace Magistrate, was a farmer and destroyer, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley led an effort to save the damaged ship, a group of Seminoles attacked his field, killing his wife and children, and a children's teacher. Other plantations in the neighborhood were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area left the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse in Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first American Stade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and then became a battleground during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually uninhabited until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate the ferry across the New River, and the completion of the East Coast Railroad Florida Line through the area in 1896, that every organized development began. The city was founded in 1911, and in 1915 was appointed the newly formed county chair of Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major construction began in the 1920s, during the Florida 1920s land boom. The Miami Storm of 1926 and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused much of the economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at the knife point. He was arrested and taken to Miami prison when the police fled the streets by the masses. A group of 100 white men went on to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his robbery. His body is full of 20 bullets. The killing was later used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US criticism of its own persecution of Jews, Communists and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became the main US base, with Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control operators. The Coast Guard base in Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African-Americans embarked on a series of protests, wade-ins, on a beach forbidden to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build the road to the Negro coast". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot was contrary to city policy on the segregation of public beach racial.
Currently, Fort Lauderdale is a major cruise center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of the metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.
Population size
After the war ended, service members returned to the area, spurring a massive population explosion that dwarfed the 1920s boom. The 1960 Census counted 83,648 people in the city, about 230% of the 1950 figure. A 1967 report estimated that the city was approximately 85% developed, and the population figure of 1970 was 139,590.
After 1970, when Fort Lauderdale was basically built, growth in the area shifted to the periphery to the west. As cities like Coral Springs, Miramar, and Pembroke Pines are experiencing explosive growth, the Fort Lauderdale population is stagnant, and the city is actually shrinking by nearly 4,000 people between 1980, when the city had 153,279 people, and 1990, when the population is 149377. A little rebound brought the population back to 152,397 at the 2000 census. Since 2000, Fort Lauderdale has gained slightly more than 18,000 inhabitants through seven neighborhood annexations in unrelated Broward County.

However, in rough and corrosive marine environments, the nylon ropes used to secure the tires are beginning to break down, the cables rust, and the tires rupture. The tires pose a particular threat after being freed from their restraints. The tires then migrated to shore and ran to live coral channels, washed on its slopes and killed many things on their way.

The local authorities are now working to remove 700,000 tires, in collaboration with the US Army, Navy and Coast Guard.
